The driver of this car who left it 'parked' with at least one tyre suspended in mid-air has had a surprising amount of sympathy from other drivers around Devon.

They are saying that Devon's rural lanes and steeply sided hills are a nightmare - especially for people who have to reverse for oncoming HGVs.

The picture was posted on local Facebook group Proper Spotted Kingsteignton site and the first few comments laughed at the epic parking fail.

But then people came to the driver's defence saying they recognise the lane in Abbotskerswell, near Newton Abbot in South Devon. Manor Road, at the top of Odle Hill, leads to garages and industrial units in The Old Cider Works.

They said traffic to the mini-trading estate has made the area a nightmare for drivers.

But then others pointed out how difficult it is for drivers. Maddy Bywater said: "The road suddenly slopes away, it’s very dangerous and has been like it for years...about time the Highways Agency fixed it."

Nikki Grange also agreed: "It's a horrible slopey bit at the end .. really steep .. and when the HGVs make you reverse it .. you hold your breath as always cars parked opposite."

Kevin Mitchell said: "That is a very dodgy bit of narrow gauge road where too many cars park to visit the small trading estate. I have often been myself to one of the businesses but usually park down the hill and walk up the lane. Never enough parking though combined with lorry deliveries!"
